I love my cup of coffee in the morning, not first thing though, usually about 10.30am just as my energy levels are beginning to slide and my work is starting to suffer. We usually have a variety of coffees in my work, too many fussy people! Recently we have been using the Nescafe Gold Blend Decaffeinated style. We had all thought with the decaffeinated style supposedly being better for you we would give it a try to see what we thought and if we really could taste a difference. The Packaging A glass jar with a bit of a waistline, a red lid and a red label picturing a golden scoop of coffee beans. Although recently I have noticed a new packaging, ...  Read the complete review

I've been drinking so much coffee since our grandson came along that the Mrs decided I ought to try decaff to cut back on the bad stuff a bit. In fairness, I did my fair share of sleepless nights and night feeds many years ago now and didn't expect to be doing them all over again twenty years later! I have no choice really but to help out sometimes though to give the daughter a break and even when I don't, I still get woken at 3am before trundling off to work at half six. So I began drinking a lot more coffee than usual to try to keep me going. Even now the grandson is a bit older and doesn't wake up too often, I find I can't kick my ten cups a day habit and two of ..  Read the complete review

There is no denying it, I love coffee, and I love the taste nearly as much as the buzz I get from the caffeine. I need it in a morning to get me going and I need it throughout the day to keep me energised and focused on the tasks ahead. As a student I relied upon it to get me through writing my essays and the many hours I spent revising and now in my mid twenties I am still relying upon coffee to give me a kick up the bum. The only downside of drinking so much caffeine is the buzz it gives me and now that I don't have to be up all night studying finishing off that final closing paragraph of an essay it was time to relinquish my dependency on it. I felt that if I cut down  Read the complete review

I gave up caffeine a while ago. I wrote a review about Rooibos tea to boast about my new inner calm and healthy lifestyle. Well, I'm sorry to say that on occasion I have since fallen off of the Caffeine wagon and fancied a lucozade, or a coffee (a recent holiday to Italy was not great on the caffeine front - what's an Italian meal without a cheeky little espresso afterwards?!). In general, though, I'm still quite good. This is why, in conflict with all of my previous caffeinated grumblings along the lines of "no caffeine, no point", I have recently succumbed to the lure of Decaff coffee. It wasn't an easy decision to make. My boyfriend's taunts at my ...  Read the complete review

I don't really believe in decaff coffee, I think if you are going to drink coffee and enjoy it and enjoy the benefits of a bit of caffeine whilst you are drinking it why would you even need to bother with decaff. I know people who drink decaff coffee at night time because they say that the caffeine in regular coffee keeps them awake at night but this has never been a problem for me. However, last year when I was pregnant I knew I needed to buy some decaff coffee as lots of caffeine is not recommended during pregnancy but I knew I could not possibly give up my coffee habit so I had to settle for decaff for nine months. On a shopping trip I tasked my husband ...  Read the complete review
